George Harrison’s First Electric Guitar Headed to Auction

Harrison used the guitar throughout Liverpool before the Fab Four existed as The Beatles—back when they were The Quarrymen and had yet to add Ringo Starr to the lineup.

According to Guitar World, Harrison donated the guitar to a band competition in promotion of The Beatles’ 1966 tour in Germany. There, it was won by a German band called Faces and remained in the possession the band’s singer Frank Dostal until his 2017 death, when his widow gave the guitar to Julien’s Auctions.
